I hunted around on the web and I linked from PC Review back to VMWARE ... strange, it was not on the products page. Hooray for persistence. Now, to just learn to keep quiet during the process... Same issue with the refrigerator ... I can't find anything until I yell "Honey, where's the...." - then it's right in front of me. My wife doesn't even answer anymore, she just waits to hear "Nevermind, I found it!"

Typical, 1 penny shy of a C-note. No can do, blew my budget for software until after tax time. Waaaaaaaaa.

I downloaded Vmware Player and had all three up in no time. Runs like a spotted dog and doesn't mind what hardware I'm using. I've got a Dell XPS8300. Recommend you give VMware Player a whirl. Free.

I am surprised that was not a factor for you since you seem to keep your hardware a long time. Are you planning to upgrade SSDs more regularly? I have recently begun experimenting with VirtualBox by Oracle ... I cannot add a single one of my DELL drivers to the Win-7-64 OS I downloaded and installed from MSDN. DELL won't support me. Oracle won't support me, and MS won't support me. Talk about 3rd party hell. BTW I saw another super cheap buy in the link you sent, the WD USB 3.0 drive... I just can't remember if it was 2 Seagates that started clicking/clucking and then became unreadable, within 2 months of one another and about a year after I bought them (just out of warranty) with Geek Squad taking them apart and could not get any information off them... or WD. Until I can remember (*IF* I can remember) I will not buy another USB drive from either of them lol. How's that for consumer lunacy. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
